Since then, he has been a key player in the team drawing praises from his teammates and the club’s supporters for his electrifying performances.

He made his Super Eagles debut in a goalless draw against Uganda in November 2018.

Chukwueze scored his first goal for Nigeria against South Africa at the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt, where the Super Eagles won the bronze medal after finishing third.
